Just wanna see what people think about back country hunters and anglers putting This out; it was on face book.
BHA:
Did you draw an elk tag this year? Everyone knows there's lots of competition for those tags, but did you know that only half of the roughly 40,000 elk tags available in New Mexico go into the draw? The other half are given directly to landowners who enroll in the E-PLUS program managed by NMDGF.
The board of NM Backcountry Hunters & Anglers encourages Game and Fish to tackle this issue in 2018. We want to see a major overhaul of the E-PLUS program, specifically aimed at making more elk tags available through the draw in the future.
We encourage hunters like you to join NM BHA and add your voice to the growing chorus of New Mexico hunters who want a positive change in the elk draw.
Starting May 1, we will start a membership drive aimed at doubling or even tripling our numbers. We will give away a Yeti cooler and a guided fly fishing trip with Taos Fly Shop to some lucky new or renewing member. So hold your fire for now, but be ready on May 1 to join New Mexico Backcountry Hunters & Anglers. Then let's tackle the elk problem in New Mexico and see if we can't improve everyone's draw odds next year.
